[nagdu] In question please

[d m gina]

Excuse me no one treated anyone poorly at this convention.
I was in question on behalf of nothing to show that the dog was some 
kind of service dog, how would we know if it was blow Joe down the 
street bringing his pet because he didn't have anyone to take care of 
it for the weekend.
My question was more than fare
If a person can take a pet dog on the buss, claiming it is a service 
dog, then we get excited about this, but don't wonder about the saint 
bernard, I wonder hamm.
My main interest was to make sure my dog didn't try to eat the 
neighborhood sense he likes to pick up anything loll.
He did quite well for his first convention, and for this I am pleased.
I am sure Jim and I might run into this guy again, where I could ask 
more questions.
Jim and this guy are both on the board.
Where I am sure we will get together at some point smile.
